It’s kind of a paradox really because people can’t go to the establishments if they’re not open. So how would the owners know whether or not people want to go there if they simply stay closed?
That’s how it works already, Chinese culture doesn’t care about Christmas, they make great money being open for their culture and others that don’t celebrate Christmas and want a normal day.
I love having Chinese coworkers because they will work extra shifts during Thanksgiving and Christmas. But it’s my responsibility to work extra shifts for Chinese new year.
When I was working for a video rental place on Thanksgiving, people would always say “I can’t believe you have to work today!” While renting movies. I wanted to yell at them “if you didn’t come in, I wouldn’t have to!”
I would argue that then they should just stay closed, for their employee’s sake. Even non-christian, Christmas is a national holiday, and I don’t know many things that need to be open. (Hospitals and emergency unfortunately of course excluded)
Legit question, no? You are suggesting places should be closed because it’s a national holiday, so when it’s their cultural holiday they have to be open so you can go shop since it’s not a national holiday?
It’s hypocritical. Thats a hostile reponse.
They should be allowed to choose to be open because it’s a free market.
Your exceptions are strange, they should be allowed to be closed too, if that’s truly how you feel that it should be. It’s a national holiday after all.
Nope, obviously I do not have a binary yes/no opinion, there is obviously nuance, but you’re being very hostile in your responses and I’m not interested in having an all-out argument here.

Other way around. Places default to open, then if people don’t come, they stay closed next year as acost saving measure.

I wonder which establishments have experienced this.

So fuck the other places that would need to stay open during their holidays than?
Unnecessarily hostile response dude. I even gave an exception already, this is all lighthearted.
